Description

In WordPress 6.9 Beta 2, I'm able to create a new block and, without entering any content, add notes to it. According to the "​What to test in 6.9 post" this should not be possible. I've attached a screenshot.

Actually, this is the correct behavior. Please refer to this Gutenberg PR for details: ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/72427

@krupajnanda, can you delete the following text from ​What to test in 6.9 post?

Note on empty block: Notes should not be allowed on an empty block.
